Anaplan is not a good tool for User Experiance. It lacks a lot in UX design Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What i like the most about Anaplan is that end user can modify their input and the change and impact could show immediately so that the what-if analysis and senario planning can be done efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Once the structure has been setup,there is limitations on changing the dimensions or hierarchy levels. Connection between anaplan and other system is another pain point we are facing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Modeling Flexibility: Anaplan allows handle complex models with ease and it's multidimensional modeling capabilities allow for scenario planning and forecasting which accommodates various business needs in the EPM ecosystem.

Real-Time Data Updates: The platform supports real-time data integration with it's need in house integration system called Anaplan Data Orchestrator (ADO) which enables quick decision-making. This feature allows the system to be updated with latest data from your various legacy system within seconds, enhancing the planning experience and also collaboration across teams.

User-Friendly Interface: With the onset of New UX a few years ago, Anaplan's user experience allows easy navigation, even for users without extensive technical expertise. It allows for users to easily get accustomed to the system encouraging them to use the system.

Scalability: Building on the "Honeycomb" idea of Anaplan, the free design within Anaplan allows for clients to scale their small models to big implementations with ease, taking different use cases within a single Anaplan umbrella.

Collaboration Tools: Built-in collaboration features like comments notification, workflows etc. promote seamless communication within different teams working on the model. It fosters the idea of collaboration among different teams prompting better planning and forecasting exercises. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cost: Despite it's amazing feature, Anaplan does come with a good price tag. The new bundle costing method might help out large scale enterprises to adopt Anaplan, it will remain out of each for a number of smaller organizations with limited budgets and resources.

Performance Issues: Even though Anaplan very much allows large scale scalability, it can have a few performance issues specially when working with large datasets. New calculation engine called "Polaris" is now available for clients to tackle some of these issues, but it does require good model building to ensure justification of using the Polaris engine.

The ability to add structure to repeatable processes and easily roll things forward rather than creating dozens of gsheets a year. The ability to integrate with other systems like Workday, SFDC, Data Warehouses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

User Access has it's downsides when new roles need to be created or trying to automate user access provisioning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Anaplan is a great planning platform which is easy to use and scalable.

Anaplan continues investing in its product roadmap. New products either organically developed like Anaplan Workflow and Data Orchestrator or externally acquired like Fluence provided Anaplan a range of capabilities required in the planning space.

Anaplan has excellent online learning centre. Courses for recently acquired products were developed using the same standard as the Anaplan core courses. This made learning experience easy.

Customer support is easily accessible with new Customer Care portal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Anaplan may need to consider drill down functionality. While this can be achieved through different workarounds on UX pages, standard drill down that people are familiar with by expanding and collapsing parent item is good to have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. flexible for unique business needs

Anaplan is quite expense and a lot of functionality needed additional cost e.g. workflow, Fluence etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Platform is flexible, easy to understand and build. Reliable after the build, if built right. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Scalability, capacity which are big constraints. High license fees and predatory sales tactics which are hidden and never disclosed upfront. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Anaplan is flexible in it's modeling and does not hold you to 1 use case.

This is very valuable to bring to a firm and have endless growth with the tool.

The tool is relatively easy to learn and can be picked up my anyone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some aspects of the developer experience could be improved. Knowing what line items are used for what actions could be improved. Also, cloudworks having a snowflake connection would help.

"Toastering" of the model when a bad formula is inputted is very aggravating for users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Anaplan's platform continues to evolve in an incredible way. Just in the last 18 months, the following has released: app native workflow, build in data management, AI, brand new tech that builds models for you ("T&Q app"). It's changing what you expect from an EPM tool Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Anaplan's pricing can be confusing and opaque. This is due to an evolving platform, technology, and GTM model. Customers from just 3 years ago may have completely different expectations on pricing and that can cause friction. However, the GTM model had to change - the platform, which did not drastically change from 2014-2022, has received an incredible overhaul in terms of technical functionality, and old pricing models did no capture that at all.
